skellis Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 Hi! I'm new to this site, I've been reading some of your stories and thought maybe someone could help me?! I've been on this merry go round relationship with my boyfriend for four years. We've broken up so many times that I couldn't even tell you how many! We have a three year old son. The problem is... my boyfriend is totally narcissistic and irresponsible. He's a pothead, he's had about 15 jobs since I've known him, and keeps a job for maybe three months at a time. He's not working now. He's 27. I'm totally the opposite.. I'm very responsible, I always have a job (I'm a nurse), I pay for everything, I take care of our son, etc. We don't do anything together because he doesn't have money.. He cares more about himself than he does his son. I am not happy with him and plan on breaking up with him.. We were just broken up for about 9 months.. I was doing so well, I quit smoking, started talking to my old friends again, dated someone else who was wonderful (wasn't attracted to him though), felt like a better mother, and just felt a lot happier and less stressed out. Well things didn't work out with the other guy, and I got back with my boyfriend, and I totally regret it. I've been back and forth with him tons of times and nothing ever changes. I know this is not good for me or for my son. I do not understand how I can break up with him, and then weaken every time and go back to him. Has anyone been through this? How can I stop going back to him? Why do I do this? Link to post Share on other sites
